This is the card I made - Owl My Love.
It was made for my DH, who's my true Valentine and the love of my life.
Today is a very important day for us.
We're ending a long, difficult journey, and hopefully we're starting a new time, more relaxed and happy.
I hope I'll have more creative moments from now on, and I plan to blog, to share, and more… stay tuned!

Ingredients:

Cream CS for the card's basis
Dark green CS, from a commercial booklet
Wood patterned CS, from a commercial booklet
Recycled tea box CS, for die cutting and stamping
Tim Holtz Die - BirdBranch
Embossing Ink pad
Ranger embossing powder - Black Sparkle
Michael Strong Whimsical Owls stamp
ProMarkers
3D double sided foam tape
Pink heart bling

First I layered the papers on the card.

I used the BirdBranch Die, and cut off the bird to use only the branch.
I colored it using ProMarkers.
Then I stamped the Owl and heat embossed it with Black Sparkle EP, to give it a shiny effect (look at its close-up photo).
I cut it with nail scissors and colored it using ProMarkers.
The sentiment "Owl My Love" was hand written by me.
Both the Owl and the sentiment were glued 3D for extra dimension.
Finally, I added the pink heart, to add some glam.
